On the topic of MMaping files. Would a Directory implementation that transparently MMaps only certain files be interesting? It could MMap files that are accessed frequently (term dict, postings), as opposed to files such as docstores that are accessed less frequently. This could be built using LUCENE-1618 so maybe this idea is just a benchmark.
